Liverpool star Mo Salah believes Newcastle United will be a 'tough' game but is feeling confident about coming out on top.

The Magpies travel down to Anfield for Saturday's 12.30pm kick-off, and while the odds are very much against United - Salah is aware of the threat posed by Steve Bruce's men.

Speaking ahead of the game, Salah said: " Newcastle is always tough home or away, the way they play. They have a good team and good players and a good coach. We just need to focus on ourselves and do our job.

"Last season we lost the Premier League by one point and just need to keep focusing on each game right now. We don't need to lose any points."

Salah has hit 27 goals in 53 games last season, and has started this season in similar form but the Egyptian feels that is more to come.

"I feel good. Last season and the season before I’d scored three goals after nine or eight games (in all competitions) but this time I’ve scored it after four games, that’s fine. I’m happy about it.
